Summary of the contracting process

The Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust has recently completed its procurement process for the "FHFT- NC- Accredited Learning 2025", focusing on adult and other education services. The tender, initiated as an open procedure below the threshold, was to secure a local University training partner and was initially launched in 2024. After the first tender was abandoned due to budget concerns, the Trust engaged a local provider, resulting in an award worth £36,000 to Oxford Brookes (Services) Limited. This contract, set to begin on 1st April 2025 and end on 31st March 2026, reinforces their commitment to providing accredited learning services in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for local universities and accredited learning service providers, particularly those capable of delivering adult education and training services cost-effectively. With an open procurement method, the NHS Foundation Trust prioritises proposals that demonstrate value for money and align closely with the Trust's unique requirements, making it well-suited for small to medium enterprises. Engaging in such contracts can lead to business growth through increased visibility, enhanced partnerships, and expanded service offerings.
